Judging criteria

Technical DifficultyIs the hack technically interesting or difficult? Is it just some lipstick on an API, or were there real technical challenges to surmount? This is the most important criterion that your hack will be judged upon for the general prizes.

PracticalityIs the hack practical? Is it something people would actually use? Does it fulfill a real need people have?

CreativityIs the hack more than just another generic social/mobile/local app? Does it do something entirely novel, or at least take a fresh approach to an old problem?

PolishIs the hack usable in its current state? Is the user experience smooth? Does everything appear to work? Is it well designed?
